Extra space in "Name" field when merged Mark 12/30/2008 4:48:13 PM When I merge data into the 'name' field, the first line of the address block, there is an extra space in front of the name. The merge is coming from Excel and i have checked the formatting for the cells and it all appears fine..Thanks in advance

I prefer to insert each field separately, and set the spacing and line/paragraph format. The Address Block may be including a "Title" field, so when a record does not have a "title", it leaves a space. If you insert the fields separately, if a field does not have a value, the next field shifts to the left or up, and fills in the space, where the first field would have occupied. -- Add MS to your News Reader: news://msnews.microsoft.com Rich/rerat (RRR News) <message rule> <<Previous Text Snipped to Save Bandwidth When Appropriate>> "Mark" <Mark[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:683E99BB-05B6-4351-9DC4-C1BA0354CD92[ at ]microsoft.com...
